Google Launches YouTube Netflix Competitor in Canada

This entry was posted on September 5, 2011 by Pure Mobile.

Google has announced that they are going to be launching their own Netflix competitor throughout all of Canada, titled YouTube Movies. the company has been working behind the scenes to ensure that they get the service up sooner rather than later throughout all of Canada. It will be a direct competitor with the Netflix platform that has become so popular throughout the country. The service first debuted in the United States, and has become quite popular since then. The deal and the United States will allow for customers to be able to rent movies for a total of $3.99 or $4.99 each. After they purchased the movie, they will have up to 30 days to watch the movie.

The move is an interesting one for Google, a company that has not delved too deep into this type of business before. Like many of their other services they may be more interested in throwing things at the dart board and seeing what sticks. This new YouTube Movies service has the potential to be one of the biggest rimming movie services on the Internet, but only if they’re going to be able to capitalize on those subscribers that have already left their other platforms because of increasing distrust with the recent hike in prices.

It will certainly be an interesting thing to watch and see if it is able to take off. Google knows that they are going to have to compete with services that are already out there in order to be able tofind a footing that they require to make this the service that they are hoping to make.they have been able to put together an excellent service, but the fact of the matter is that sometimes that is not enough for you to be able to get to the position that you were looking to get to. They are going to need to position themselves as the new, cooler option.
